CondéNast Traveller features Nobu Hotel Ibiza Bay as one of the best family hotels in Ibiza

It’s no surprise that Ibiza Bay runs like clockwork for families – the hotel is from the team behind Andalusia institution The Marbella Club, whose kids’ club is arguably the best in Europe. While the kids’ club at Ibiza Bay can’t compete in size, it makes up for it in inventive activities, with hippie bracelet making, mermaid and pirate parties, sushi workshops (with mocktails) and popcorn-packed movie nights. A raft of cosy cabanas lines the elegant children’s pool, where curious kids order from a first-rate mini menu (grilled payés chicken, salmon and veggie skewers, fresh fruit platter) while parents sip rosé and tap away at their smartphones. Rooms are capacious (interconnecting for larger families) and come stashed with baby bathrobes, goodie bags, baseball caps and branded pareos, while the spa offers too-cute parent-and-child massages, and everyone floats around the lobby barefoot. But the most magical thing about Ibiza Bay is in fact, the staff: they know the kids by name, turn a cheerful blind eye to borderline naughty behaviour and are the first to drape a comforting blanket over a softly snoozing toddler. Making parents feel at ease in a five-star hotel isn’t as easy as it sounds, but Ibiza Bay make it seem like a breeze.
